NSFW How many of you married fluthers actually consummated your marriage on your wedding night?

We were too tired.

I suspect most did that way before the wedding.

@Hypocrisy_Central but then that’s not consummating your marriage?

Our wedding lasted until about 2AM. Despite serving fabulous food, we barely ate any of it – as we were too busy dancing and socializing. In fact, we were so hungry, we had our limo driver stop for a pizza on the way home.

With the three of us (bride, groom & driver) still noshing on pizza, we turned the corner to find a camper parked in the driveway of our new house (we had just bought it four months prior). What’s more, there was a huge ho-down happening next door.

Despite the loud country music and mysterious camper, we headed inside – choosing to ignore it all at such a late hour. Unfortunately, our neighbor had other plans.

Within minutes there was a loud knock at the front door. Still (partially) in our formal wear, we opened the door and was greeted by our (very drunk, bare-chested, cowboy-hat-wearing) neighbor and twenty of his (equally drunk) friends and family.

“Congratulations neighbor!”, he exclaimed and the lot of them launched into a boisterous rendition of Friends in Low Places.

They then shuffled off en masse, still singing. We simply collapsed on the couch and promptly fell asleep. I suspect we had some interesting dreams that night.

We did, although we were pretty tired and had an early flight the next morning. It was nothing wild and crazy.

We did!

I can’t remember. Part of me thinks we must have been too tired, part of me vaguely remembers that she had special lingerie for the occasion. It was a very busy day for us. Most of it just blurs together.

We left the reception fairly early to make sure we had the energy to drive to Monterey. We did skip dinner, so we could get right to the consumation.

Heck yeah we did! Twice!

Nope. We just passed out.

But we made up for it with enthusiasm on the honeymoon.

After a late wedding, followed by a three hour drive and finally getting checked in about 2 am, we did, barely, but it was even better in the morning (late morning) after a good nights sleep.

We not only consummated our marriage, but we conceived our first daughter, just three hours after our wedding. =0)

We had sex before marriage. On my wedding night I don’t think we did? I’m having a hard time remembering.

@WillWorkForChocolate That’s so romantic….bet your daughter was the best wedding gift ever.

@BeccaBoo Actually, she was the biggest scare ever, realizing I was pregnant just 2 weeks after the wedding when we had intended to wait 2 years lmfao, but it’s become a very fond memory now.

Erm… several times…. ;)

However, it was not without humorous obstacles. We get to our hotel room and proceed to do what newlyweds do and the phone rings. It is her dad asking what to do with the juke box we had at the reception. No problem… back to business… Then the phone rings a second time with a friend calling to ask about some other minor logistical detail. Fine… once again back to business…. Next comes a knock at the door. It is room service with the complementary bottle of champagne and fruit bowl they supply to all of their honeymoon couples. FINE…. back to business…. Next comes yet another telephone call. It was the concierge welcoming us and asking if everything was satisfactory. (I kind of missed my queue on this one, In retrospect I should have told him everything would be just dandy if he could just shut the phone off for us…)

It kind of reminded me of an old joke about Savour Fair. A couple of guys were talking about the meaning of savour fair. One of them suggested that if one walks in on their wife in bed with another man, rather than just beating the snot out of him it is the ability to handle the situation with grace and restraint. Another suggested that in the same situation if the husband says pardon me, please continue and the other man can, that’s savore fair!

(And no, it was definitely not our first time with one another…)

Did it before and I most certainly plan on doing it the night of…

We were both technically virgins so we did it in a rather “let’s cross this off the list” way and then finished preparing for an early flight to England the next morning.

(Yo, Bob. Savoir-faire.)

@gailcalled – Thanks for the correction. I have always been a bit syntax challenged, especially with them thar foreign phrases… ;)

Sort of. A proxy stood in for the bride, who was in labor.

I’m stunned when I hear about people getting too drunk at the ceremony to consummate that night. It’s the one night of a man’s life that he is guaranteed sex, and yet grooms often pass out.

@BeccaBoo …but then that’s not consummating your marriage? It is like giving a person a car right after New Years telling them it is a graduation present. Letting them drive it all that time, then re-bowing it in June and yelling “surprise!!” when they woke up the day of their graduation.

@Hypocrisy_Centra: Consummating your marriage is clear; it means you have intercourse for the first time on your wedding night.

All that extraneous detail about cars for graduation presents does not apply, no matter how much you want to manipulate the language.

(However, If I got a car six months before my graduation, I personally would be thrilled to have it gift-wrapped again on the morning after graduation.)

We did. Well we actually were married in the morning and did it between the ceremony and the reception and then again after the reception as well.

With my 1st wedding, we did not- way too tired. With my 2nd wedding this weekend, I think we’ll be way too tired again, at least I hope so. If we’re tired then that means we will have enjoyed ourselves with our guests to the fullest.

@Neizvestnaya This weekend?! Congrats! Have fun!

My God, I can’t remember. A couple of our friends came home with us and they were staying in the other room. I don’t think we actually had sex.

@Neizvestnaya Congratulations and good luck for your up and coming big day.

Okay, here’s for The Record: we did not have sex on our wedding night but we had a wonderful time. The best.
